Greenwich, CT – Southfield Capital, a private investment firm focused on the lower middle­market, announced today that it completed the sale of RCR International, Inc. (“RCR”), to Peak Rock Capital. Based in Boucherville, Québec, RCR is a leading manufacturer, marketer and value­added distributor of home insulation, flooring and utility products sold through the do­it­yourself channel in Canada and the U.S. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1946, RCR is a leader in the Canadian home improvement market with a broad product offering and exceptional customer service. RCR’s products are used by consumers to maintain and enhance the comfort and energy-efficiency of their homes and are primarily featured by retailers in the home improvement and do-it-yourself categories. The Company’s core product portfolio of door and window insulation, indoor/outdoor flooring and utility accessories includes some of the most recognized and highest quality brands, such as Climaloc®, the top selling Canadian brand of consumer weatherstripping, ComfortPlus®, Dennis®, PolarGrip® and Topsi®.

Southfield Capital acquired a majority stake in RCR in April 2006. Under Southfield’s ownership, RCR built on its market leading position and significantly enhanced shareholder value. This value creation was accomplished through several key operational improvements, including (i) increasing focus on working capital management (ii) diversifying product offering to augment RCR’s core insulation product lines (iii) recruiting additional senior management talent (iv) institutionalizing key business practices and processes, and (v) divesting non­core business
units.
